Giamatti, Woods are ‘Too Big’ for HBO

Actors round out the cast of Wall Street pic

HBO has rounded out its cast for its Wall Street meltdown telepic “Too Big to Fail,” with roles that represent a host of public figures as key characters.

James Woods has been tapped to play Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld. Paul Giamatti will play Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and Ed Asner will move into a much higher tax bracket in the role of Warren Buffett.

Pic, to be helmed by Curtis Hanson, offers an intimate look at the financial crisis of 2008 and the group of powerbrokers who decided the fate of the world’s economy in a matter of a few weeks.

Pic mostly revolves around the work of President George W. Bush’s Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, played by William Hurt.
